"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:ja2Cb.310866$Dw6.1046389@attbi_s02... If you do a web search you'll see reports of between 200,000 to 500,000 popular votes favoring Gore and of course an argument of what that really means. Considering that an estimate 800K to 1.2M illegal aliens voted in the 2000 election, those numbers are dubious. And that's not to mention the several states that had very quesionable vote totals...that all got lost in the Florida flare-up. C'mon, the USA Today election map at http://mwhodges.home.att.net/usmap-large.gif clearly shows that the country OVERWHELMINGLY supported Bush. The fact that the big cities happen to have more dead voters just graphically illustrates who is GETTING the tax money, versus who is PAYING it. Wasn't it LBJ that got more votes than there were live voters in his first Senate run? Not to mention colleges...like the one in Wisconsin where guys were voting 15, 20 time. One student bragged about casting 29 ballots...all right under the noses of "impartial" voter boards. |

I would believe some, but that is awfully large. Well, then let's talk about the flawed voter roll purges that occured in both Texas and Florida. http://dir.salon.com/politics/featur...ile/index.html Or the shenanigans in Tennessee http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=10589 Plenty of dirt to go around. But .... the original assertion was that an overwhelming number of Americans voted for Bush. Simply visit http://www.fec.gov/pubrec/2000presgeresults.htm and look at the tabular data, you'll see the results. Consider the Nader votes anti-Bush and Buchanan anti-Gore, add up the other candidates if you like in a similar fashion. Nowhere near overwhelming and the results seem to slightly favor Gore. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Jay has apparently managed to convince himself that the extent of a candidate's mandate is better measured by the number of *acres* that voted for the candidate than by the number of *people* that voted for the candidate. When he stays the "country" overwhelmingly supported Bush, he's referring to the country's landmass rather than its population. --Gary |

Those areas that produce more than they consume and pay more in taxes than they receive in federal funds voted for Bush and those that suck at the Federal teat voted for Gore. Big surprise.

Yes, but not what he claims it tells us. Those areas that produce more than they consume and pay more in taxes than they receive in federal funds voted for Bush and those that suck at the Federal teat voted for Gore. Yeah right. Seattle, New York, Boston, most of New England, and the coast of California are notoriously unproductive areas. Why, the national economy would scarcely notice if those places just disappeared. |
